    Time to stop watching I think... don't see the pen saving us.
  2. diehardtwinsfan
    I thought all TD posters were already posting from the basement.
  3. diehardtwinsfan
    yes, I could be at the game
  4. diehardtwinsfan
    nice Duffey!

    So... thunderstorm at Myrtle Beach... no more beach for me today Twins and Margaritas it is...
  6. diehardtwinsfan
    I've got to think that one of Escobar or Dozier heads down at some point. Does Esco still have options? Polanco cannot be worse than that.
  7. diehardtwinsfan
    I think we need to hit a few more too.
  8. diehardtwinsfan
    Time in the minors has done Buxton well. That average has gone way up in no time. Hope he keeps it up, b/c if he does, I'll be perfectly fine leaving him up here.
  9. diehardtwinsfan
    well, he's above the Mendoza line with this last callup. That alone means he's hitting at a decent clip.
  10. diehardtwinsfan
    ML average OPS is sub .800 too, by quite a bit. Chance to be solid is one thing. I don't mind the Grossman pickup, but like others though, I do want Arcia playing pretty much every day.
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    good... at least we won't have to hear any trade for Shields threads. Not sure this was the best move by the WS... but then again, I don't think they expected to contend either.

    Glad I'm at Myrtle beach this week. And glad I didn't spend much time in the game thread Now back to regularly scheduled drinking...

    Don't like your picks Jeremy I don't mind those college picks later in order to get some room to get some HS guys earlier, but only 3 HS guys in 12 picks isn't what I had in mind. Unless that OF is another toolsy guy, I'd rather go with hard throwing prep pitcher as well as Ben R. or Cooper J. in round 2. We need catching help and both of those guys make a ton of sense in that range. They aren't reaches, and they have high ceilings as good defenders with potential plus bats.
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    yeah, he pitched well last night. Hopefully he strings a few more good starts together so we can flip him for a future utility player.
  15. diehardtwinsfan
    Not quite sure now is the time to trade Dozier, but I do think that an option to give Polanco some time does make a ton of sense. Dozier needs to start working on handling those outside pitches or he's going to be like this permanently. If that's an attitude thing, then AAA might be what he needs (though at this point he's still getting paid). Pass on Milone. Yes to Arcia/Kepler. With Buxton, I'm fine playing him every day, but this is a short term callup, so unless he's made massive strides, I'd send him back down.

    The Twins consistently had shutdown pens during that timeframe. I just mentioned a few names. One of the going theories on teams that overperformed their pythag numbers came from the Twins and their pen. We may not have the Royals pen today, but the early 2000s Twins had some very good bullpens.
  17. diehardtwinsfan
    Hawkins, Balfour, Rincoln, Guardardo, and Nathan.... I think we forget just how good the pens were during the early 2000s... we rarely lost a lead in the late innings.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    With the exception of the strikeouts at the plate, that was the exact model of the Twins in the early 2000s.
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    those are some ridiculous numbers...
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    Well, we should be drafting first.. or close to it.
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    I don't think he's with the club next season (not even certain about this season). Whether that's a non-tender or trade, we won't know.
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    Moving this to the minor league forum.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    typical move that every team makes over the course of the season. Not really anything to see.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    The Twins seem to like their safe college arms in round 2. Hopefully that's the case b/c they are getting a guy under slot to go after some more prep picks later in the 2nd/3rd.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    If Jay keeps this up for a few more weeks, I have to think they'll move him to AA. That's ridiculous. That said, 133 innings is probably near the top end of what they want him to do this year, so I wouldn't be surprised if at one point he returned to the pen.
